You can, but it's just easier to go to Netflix or DirecTV online to watch shows on the chromebook.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If DirecTV has an app on the Google Play Store or Chrome Web store, then yes. Chromebooks are different from standard laptop products in that they are designed to be used primarily while connected to the Internet, with most applications and documents living in the cloud. Because of this they don’t have much for on board storage but they also are not expensive either. Chromebooks run off apps like an Android phone or tablet so you cannot download and install applications or .exe files. If you need to use third party software applications that must be installed on the computer, a Chromebook is likely not for you, where a Windows laptop would suit you better.
